Overview

In The Big Voice, Jim and Steve have musicalized their longterm relationship and hilariously proved that theatre is as much a calling as religion. This high-energy, razzle-dazzle show chronicles the lives of a Baptist from Arkansas and a Catholic from Brooklyn who find eternal salvation in the temple of musical theatre. The show “traces the couple's meeting aboard a ship in the Atlantic Ocean, Steve's struggle with AIDS, the production of their hit off-Broadway musical The Last Session, their separation and their reconciliation. It's a comedy about a gay marriage between two men created by the couple themselves.”
